New York Giants Report Card: Grades for Each Position Group From Sunday

No Tuck. No Osi. No Goff. No T. Thomas. No Prince. No Austin. No Chance.

The New York Giants got beat in every facet of the game on Sunday in the second half, letting a 14-14 halftime score turn in to a 28-14 defeat at the hands of the Washington Redskins, a team they had beat six times in a row.

Don't expect to get much love from me, as I was wildly disappointed in just about everyone.

When given ample time in the first half, Eli had his moments and led the Giants to two scoring drives. In the second half he was running for his life most of the time, and even when he did get time his receivers were either dropping it or he was inaccurate with the throws.

It's hard to fault Eli for the offensive line not protecting him, but honestly he wasn't very good either way. It feels like he doesn't quite trust his receivers other than Nicks and Manningham yet, hopefully something changes, and fast.

Grade: D

P.S. Honestly, he didn't get much help from his coordinator either. Call a screen play for once? They were blitzing the entire second half. Gilbride gets an F.

Runningbacks

Again it was the tale of two halves for pretty much everyone. The offensive line opened holes for the running game in the first half and they were able to move the ball, they didn't in the second half and only had one drive go more than 15 yards.

The two runningbacks combined for 19 carries for 73 yards, that's not good.

Offensive Line

If there is one thing I could wish for, it is that David Diehl gets a tongue lashing in the film session. The Redskins had four sacks on the day, and all four came from the guys that play the defensive line spots in their 3-4 defense.

Essentially this means that the pressure came up the middle, and most the time it came off David Diehl's side.

Holy hell did he have a bad game. The Giants had a crucial 4th-and-1 in the third quarter down by seven, and Barry Cofield just threw Diehl to the side like a rag doll and blew up the play.

That wasn't even his worst play of the day.

All in all, the interior of the line, especially Baas and Diehl, did not look good in pass protection in the second half. Although, Gilbride didn't do them many favors by calling deep routes against blitzes.

Defensive Line

The defensive line definitely had its moments, and four sacks is nothing to criticize, but they could have done better had the linebackers and corners actually been able to cover someone in zone coverage.

They were without their best two pass rushers Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora, so how good could they have been? In all honesty, they played way better than I expected they would, especially against the run.

How do you lose a game holding the opposing team to 2.8 yards per carry? We'll get to that.

Defensive Backs

The Redskins picked on Aaron Ross early and often. He had such a terrible game. Just when we thought he was improving and leaving that Panthers game behind him, he, dare I say it, had a worse game.

Hell, even Corey Webster got beat inside in man coverage on the game sealing touchdown. I would get in to the defensive backs performance more, but I'm having a hard time not putting my head through the wall.
